Decay
Defines the decay time. The decay time is the amount of time that it takes for the signal
to fall to the sustain level, following the initial strike/attack time.
Sustain
This parameter sets the sustain level. The sustain level is held until the key is released.
Release
This parameter determines the length of time that it takes for the signal to fall from the
sustain level to a level of zero. Short Release values help to reduce CPU load, as the
voice is no longer processed once the release phase has completed.
Waveshaper Parameters
These parameters control and determine any nonlinear processing/polyphonic
distortion for the signal, resulting from the panning and level scaling of the two pickup
signals.
The Waveshaper provides a nonlinear shaping curve (per voice) that shapes the signal
coming from the pickups (and amplitude envelope) and passes this reshaped signal on
to the filter. This is quite similar to the waveshaping of oscillators in synthesizers, such
as Korg’s O1/W.
Waveshaper On/Off Button
The Waveshaper button enables/disables the Waveshaper.
Type
The Type menu above the Waveshaper button allows you to choose different types of
waveshaping curves from the list below.
 Soft Saturation
 Vari Drive
 Tube-like distortion
 Scream
